Abstract

The mountable holder comprises a body having a cavity, an upper face, a first side portion, a second side portion and a back portion, with the back portion extending between the first and second side portions and the cavity defining an opening on an upper face and being useable to selectively receive objects. The holder further includes a pair of magnetic connectors, with one of the magnetic connectors extending between the back portion and the first side portion and the other magnetic connector extending between the back portion and the second side portion. The magnetic connectors operatively enable the holder to be magnetically mounted to a metallic surface when the back portion is positioned adjacent the metallic surface, and the magnetic connectors operatively enable the holder to be magnetically connectable to additional holders at the first and second side portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is directed to a device that may be used to hold objects, and in particular to a holder that is interconnectable with like configured holders and is mountable to a vertical surface.[0002]Various items or materials stored in cans or bottles may be used in work places and residential settings. For example, operators in manufacturing settings may have beverages or containers of lubricants or sprays at or near their work stations. In addition to fluids, cans or bottles may be used to hold small parts or powders. Such items may occupy work surfaces, clutter a work area, or be positioned in inconvenient locations. Still further, small objects, writing implements, parts or other items that are not held in a separate can or bottle may also need to be retained.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention provides a device for holding and organizing objects, including cans, bottles, writing instruments, tools, parts or any of vario...
